UE 5.6.1 is Finally Out
5.6.1 binaries are up, i dont think there were any sessions fixes though
With 5.7 dropping, I am considering upgrading do to the overall improvements to Megalights and Substrate finally being production ready (which was critical for my project.) However, I just wanted to check to see if the advanced sessions plug it was still being supported in 5.7.
Doing an upgreade and not being able to access the project or have sessions break on the build would obviously be no bueno.
I understand the changes made with EOS have been a real pain for @mordentral . Thank you for all of your work.
It still works yes, you just need to use steam sockets / networking, which is as i understand it an intended change, but utterly undocumented anywhere.

Thank you, youâre a rockstar.
Master branch has been converted to 5.7 and 5.6 has been locked away to its own branch. The binary packages have been updated.

@mordentral I canât find the branch for 5.6. It doesnât pop up on my Github
Sorry, looks like i forgot to publish it, its there now
Stupid question, but can I use Advanced Sessions Plugin and Steam Datagram Relay? Since Iâm doing P2P traffic and SDR would help me a lot?
The datagram relay is the p2p relay setting in engine config correct? It should just work, its part of the engines steam implementation.
yeah it works, ive tried it, but traveling to another level and leaving the game makes game crash with error: Assertion failed: MappedClientConnections.Remove(ConstAddrRef) == 1 [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\NetDriver.cpp] [Line: 6751]
Any update on version 5.6? I canât get it working. This is really slowing my project down 
let me know please
Find Sessions Advance returned result is always 0.
However, there are multiple results in the log
I donât know how to solve it. I need help.
5.7+SocketSubsystem+steam sdk v1.61.
thx
if its showing the other lobbies then its a configuration error, the steam Appid 480 server has been having issues for a couple months and being up and down though.
Below is a working config (assuming you have enabled the steam sockets plugin)
[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
!NetDriverDefinitions=ClearArray
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="/Script/SteamSockets.SteamSocketsNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")
[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName=â/Scripts/SteamSockets.SteamSocketsNetConnectionâ
[OnlineSubsystem]
bHasVoiceEnabled=true
DefaultPlatformService=Steam
[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=True
bUseSteamNetworking=True
SteamDevAppId=480
Iâve had about 3 almost sleepless nights on this issue, until I tried this.
I can now create in peace.
Thank you, brother.
